I’m reporting a high-pitched noise issue with my 2025 Honda CR-V Sport Hybrid. At highway speeds (approximately 68–74 mph), a persistent, high-frequency tone becomes audible from the front driver’s side of the vehicle. It is sharp, constant, and noticeably affected by the vehicle’s battery charge and speed. There are no warning lights, messages, or error indicators. However, the sound is extremely distracting and physically uncomfortable to endure. My wife has a preexisting auditory condition (tinnitus), and this sound makes it extremely difficult to drive or ride in the vehicle without pain or aggravation. It has made the vehicle nearly unusable for her on highways. I’ve brought this to a dealership, where multiple technicians and even a factory engineer inspected the vehicle. They confirmed the presence of the sound using audio measurement tools, and noted that similar sounds are present in other CR-V Hybrids. Despite this, I was told by the manufacturer that the sound is “normal” and that no fix is currently available. This issue has been present since I first took possession of the vehicle. The dealership and manufacturer have confirmed that it exists, but no resolution has been provided. While I may be one of the first people to raise the issue, I believe this may become a much broader concern. A continuous, high-pitched noise at highway speeds could be dangerous—it might distract drivers, cause fatigue, or even lead to long-term hearing discomfort or damage. I am hoping that NHTSA will investigate this issue or track whether other drivers begin reporting similar experiences. I would welcome any guidance on what steps I can take next, or whether further inspection of the vehicle is possible.

103H tire So after I get the car from dealership, the next week I had a sign or tire low pressure by the dashboard and I start checking everyday and I figured out that is specifically is by the driver side tire is low pressure. First I took it to discount tire to see and they said I don't see any flat tire or any issues and he pump them all and tried to balance them . But still the sign in the dashboard so I decided to take it to dealership and they said maybe only the dashboard computer and they fixed it and was not showing that day as the sign went from TEMPS setting. Next day I have the sign again pops up and I scheduled second appointment with the Honda west dealership to check entire tire.They did and said we didn't see anything wrong and we fixed it again in the dashboard.i went home and next day same issue again the dashboard sign shows low pressure and also the tire itself went low pressure was not balanced everytime they blow air on it and goes low again in few minutes.i bring it again for third time and the worse sinario is that the mechanical agent touch something in the engine and the oil explodes all over the engine areas causing leak and smoke all over and oil splashed everywhere inside and outside and I have videos and photos.

As I was driving it felt as if the car was running a bit rough, hesitating/sputtering a bit when I pressed on or let up on the gas. As I pulled into the grocery store parking lot and slowed to go over a speed bump I noticed what looked like the battery indicator show up next to the speedometer & completely lost power. I put it in neutral and tried to restart it. It was as if the battery had run down and then it finally caught but sputtered. I revved the engine and was finally able to pull into a parking spot. I shut the car down for a couple minutes then restart it to drive back home. It still did the hesitation/sputtering thing on the way home. It continued the next day on my 20 mile commute into work but has been driving fine for a couple days now.

I am writing to formally report the theft of a sensor that occurred on 05/20/2025, which I believe was a direct result of its insecure placement. Unfortunately, its position left it vulnerable to unauthorized access and theft. I would like to raise the concern that the placement and securing method of the sensor did not adequately consider the risk of theft, especially in an area with public or easy access. I request that the matter be investigated thoroughly and that steps be taken to prevent such incidents in the future, such as: •Reviewing placement protocols for all outdoor or publicly accessible sensors, •Enhancing physical security measures (e.g., tamper-proof casings, CCTV coverage), •And, replacing the stolen equipment promptly. The car has several safety problems due to the censor missing critical safety features.
